      abstract = {This book addresses an important but long-overlooked area  of educational reform-the need to improve the teaching and  practice of writing. Sponsored by the nation's most  respected organization concerned with writing in schools,  Because Writing Matters shows what school leaders,  teachers, and other educators need to do to develop  effective writing programs at all grade levels. It offers  action steps prioritized from the easily achieved to the  larger and longer term, and has been newly updated to  reflect the most recent research and educational  priorities. The National Writing Project (Berkeley, CA) is  a nationwide professional development program for teachers.  Carl Nagin (Berkeley, CA), a former staff reporter for the  PBS series Frontline is a freelance writer and  investigative journalist who has written for the New York  Times and the New Yorker.},
